I think it’s a bit more nuanced than that. They’ll obviously choose the most neoliberal candidate they think they can get away with, and try to pass him (and it will be “him”) off as “progressive”
If only there was some kind of formal method for identifying and vetting and selecting the party representatives, as part of - like - an election or something. I feel like if maybe we’d started back in January and had a bunch of debates between these people early on, we might be able to include ourselves in the discussion.
Instead, I guess we’re just going to wishcast our favorite blue state governor into the White House, until the DNC Convension disabuses us of our delusions.
